Wacom has announced the launch of its new Wacom One line, giving us the budget drawing tablet range that we've been waiting for... kind of. Four new products are being released as part of the Wacom One Family, including two creative pen tablets, the Wacom One S and Wacom One M, plus two interactive pen displays, the Wacom One 13 (multi-touch) and Wacom One 12.

But there's been some confusion around what's actually being offered by Wacom. Consumers have pointed out that these new entry-level products don't include essential accessories such as a power adapter, stand, cables, or a pen – which are all sold separately for an additional cost.
